PROMINENT PERSONS.

There are thirteen candidates for mayor
atty honors in Cincinnati.
Congressman Campbell is candidate for
the democratic nomination for governor OF
Ohio.
James g. Blame and John S. Wise are sug-
guested by an "original southern republl-
can" as strong combination for lSSS.
Ex-senator Hill, of Colorado, says he has
withdrawn entirely from politics and is de-
voting his attention entirely to business.
Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, having
been defeated for nomination, will take the
field as soldier candidate for Senator Will
sons seat.
The Providence journal says the supre-
macy of the republican party in Rhode Island
is now seriously threatened, for the first time
since the war.
The vote on the prohibition amendment in
Michigan will probably be materially affected
by the decision of the third party to put q
ticket in the field.
Chicago Tribune: Secretary Manning is
going to Europe. He can evidently stand q
wide separation from the administration for
which he took the contract of furnishing
brains.
Cassius NJ Clay has Cancelled his appoint
ments to speak throughout the state Of Ken
lucky, but adheres to his purpose to run for
the Office of governor. In this respect he re-
mains Kentuckian.
Congressman McComas, of Maryland, be-
leves that Sherman and Hawley would be
an invincble presidential ticket for the re-
pubicans to nominate next year. But he
thinks also that Blaine will get the nomi ma
ton If he wants it,
Ex-senator Thurman is said to consider
Cleveland as "a man of courage GOODNESS
and wisdom" From the ''old Romans"
standpoint there is no difficulty in recognz-
ing the coolness, at least. whatever may be
thought of the wisdom.
Congressman Scott, of the Twenty-seventh
Pennsylvania district, gave $4,000 to the
Cleveland campaign fund at critical period,
and is reputed much disgruntled at the presi-
dents lack OF appreciation of his valuable
services and threatening to resign his seat
1t is said he has long been ambitious to go
into the cabinet as secretary of the navy in
place of Whitney.

TUE Herald, in reply to an inquiry,
says that trade dollars can now, and for
a period of six months from the 4th of
March, be used as circulating medium.
Seekers after knowledge should in all
cases address their inquiries to the BEE,
and they can rely upon, getting correct
information. The law passed by the
late congress did not make trade dollars
a legal tender; it simply provided for
their redemption by the government in
standard dollars Or fractional silver
coins. No one could pay debt of $50
in the trade coins now, if the creditor re-
fused to receive them, any more than he
could any time for years past.

Don't Disgrace the state.

The candidacy of Paul vandervoort for
the honorable position Of trustee of the
new Soldiers home is disgrace TO the
state, and an insult to self respecting vet
erans of the Union army. Vandervoort is
one Of those blatant impostors who pass
for brave warriors. He never came
within gun shot of the rebels and never
fought battle except with his iron jaw.
He never held commission in the army,
and never even received as much as a
scratch during the few weeks he served
IN the field, 1t was an imposition on the
Grand Army that man with Wander
voorts record should ever have been
elected commander. But brass and rail-
road ties were chiefly responsible for that.
1t Is not, however, on account OF his
impudent pretentions as a veteran that
Vandervoort has proved himself Often
sive to all deceut men, but on account OF
his disreputable personal conduct. His
career in Omaha has been that of a low
hummer and political parasite. AS chief
clerk of the railway mail service he
made most infamous record. He
made the service subservient to political
CuuS anu oCucIutS VI huaVCtD
brought scandal upon the department.
In 1876 he was the chief consprator con-
nected with the memorable murderous
assault by Curry, who was sent to the
pcnitentiary for doing Vandervoort's
cowardly bidding. The full testi-
mony of Vandervoort's connection
with this criminal assault is
still in our possession, together
with District Attorney Connell's certiti-
cate. showing that Vandervoort only es-
capped indictment as an accessory be-
carse proof was insufficient rs to his
knowledge Of the deadly weapon to be
used in the assault. General Gresham
dismissed this blatherskite from the
postal service for disobedience and in
competency. but he has found
shelter under the benevolent
wings of the Union Pacific railway
which retains him on its pay roll. During
the present session of the legislature he
has been in his element, cacousing with
other bummers and vagabonds that have
hired out to manipulate the weaklings
and purchasable element of the legisla-
ture. Is such man fit to be a trustee
| of the Nebraska Soldiers home? :?
Are the veterans of Nebraska fallen so
low rs to have no better choice from
their ranks? Do they want another
MENDOZA Carpenter to disgrace them
before the world' We hope that we have
reached a period in Nebraskas history
when men without character can no
longer aspire to positions of honor and
trust

The Budding Navy.

Notwithstanding the report that Secre-
tary Whitney is contemplating retire
ment from the navy department within a
few months, Washington advices repre-
sent him as being leisurely but steadily de-
voting himself to the task develved upon
his department by the appropriations Of
congress for reinforcing the navy. There
will be more work for this department
during the next year than 1t has been
called upod to do in any other year since
the war. Under existing law the secretary
is authorized to get his plans from any
source, SO that his sole dependence need

WE HAVE received from wholesale
firm in Ibis city an inquiry rs to whether
the recent decision of the supreme court
Of the United States, declaring state laws
taxing commercial travellers from other
states to be repugnant to the clause of
the constitution devolvng upon congress
the exclusive power to regulate COM
merce among the states, will apply to
Montana. We do not think there can be
any question regarding its application
there as elsewhere. The decision is gen.
eral in its scope. The claim of the Mon
tana authorities that the law there is con-
stitutional because they tax the job
bers of their own territory as we'll as
those coming from the states, was set up
in defense of the Tennessee law against
which the supreme court decision was
rendered. The chief justice and two of
the associate justices regarded this claim
as valid and dissented from the decision,
holding that to relieve foreign drummers
from tax imposed upon those belong
ing in the state would be "a discrimination
against the citizens of the state, but the
majority of the court did not regard this
claim as having any value. 1t was held
that no regulation can be made by the
state directly affecting interstate COM
merce, and that TO tax the sale of goods
before the sale is clearly Il tax on inter-
state commerce itself. The Montana law
cannot stand under this decision.

laughing waters of the Falls of Mnnehaha
Nature has made these pleasures POSSIBLE
In a generous mood nature was more lavish
in creation, in that particular part of the
northwest, than she has been with the pres.
ent generation of people there. Ii the fol-
lowing items from the Ploneer-Press are to
be believed, Comanche Indians could have
acted no worse than those claiming ciyiliza-
ton, during PATHS concert:
There's no person on earth who can sing
against 5000 people all talking.
The small boys in the windows got more
excitement for their money than anybody in
or about the house.
There was one thing which served to mar
PATHS superb performance for the portion
of the audience occupying the seats fronting
made by small boys who had climbed upon
the roof and were taking in the concert
through the clere-story windows. The clat-
ter had been nuisance from the beginning,
and when Patti began to sing it was more
noticeable.
Minneapolis and her sister city should
put their money into respectable opera
house. 1t was disgrace that Patti should
be obliged to appear in an unsightly skating
rink. The men, we insist should build an
opera house instead of nice palace, while
the mothers OF the unruly urchins should
stop sliding down hills on tobOggans and
teach their children how to act before COM

IT is refreshing to read in Philadel-
phia paper the following false creation.
An advertisement is going the rounds
just now, bearing the oft-quoted caption,
"All men are liars" The quotation
should be changed to read all eastern
newspaper men avoid telling the truth, If
this is an attempt in that direction:
Those who followed the advice of the late
iamented Horace Greeley-went west and
grew up with the country-have had rather
hard time OF 1t so far this winter Between
billiards, the wind blowing at the rate of
seventy. three miles an hour, the nipping of
the FROST the thermometer marking forty
three degrees below zero, and the bandits
who seem to be unusually ferocious. the
dwelers In the far west have had their lives
made burden.
Nebraskans have passed very fair
winter. Stock has done well, and the ther.
mometer has been very moderate. These
bandits, of which the eastern paper
speaks. must be the bummsrs in Lincoln
who have besn "holding up" so many
different corporations and attempting to
defeat honest legislation.

Shown Up IN Its True Light.

The Mormon who was willing to live with
his third and youngest wife, but preferred
the penitentary to his aged wife, revealed
the true feeling of most of his class of law
breakers. The women who have grown old
in shaving tor their husbands are looked
upon only in the light of membranes, and
the domestic love whichexists in most mono
oagamous households is wholly lacking. There
was never truer revelation of the selfish
ness and lust of MOrmanism than this old
reprobate unconsciously made in the court
room.

country has contributed to art another
talented woman. American women have
done much for the glory of their country in
the old world. Mary Anderson achieved
a triumph in England greater than has
been won by any other actress In this
generation, and she is going back there
with the almost certain promise of re-
newing it. Three or four years ago an
American girl, Adelaide Detchon, went
TO London to try her fortune as reader,
and to-day she enjoys throughout the
united kingdom an unrivalled reputa-
tion as an artist. Five years ago another
American girl, Miss Ella Russell, made
her debut as soprano singer at Prato,
Italy. She was Immediately successful,
and has since scored brilliant triumphs
in most of the musical centers of Europe,
having been especially honored in Lon.
don, where she sang last summer. The
character and talent of American
women are honored abroad by these rep.
resentatives of their country, and the
list of such cannot be too greatly en-
larged. 1t will be very pleasing if Mrs.
